New Life, New Year…

As a new year begins so does a new life for our Students… A new batch of pups are starting life as well. We find that our young men can truly benefit from caring for the dogs and can liken many of the things the retrievers go through to their own progress as they work the program. Often the students can observe, through the retriever puppies, how learning a new and positive habit can be tough, but worth the work! Our Students work with the dogs on a daily basis as part of their chores. Once they become competent in their training skills, they also have the opportunity to work at and compete in many nationally AKC licensed retriever tests and field trials. This not only gives them something selfless to focus on for part of the day, it also helps them enjoy the feeling of pride in the hard work they have done. We find that the work our students do with the retrievers helps with behavior, bullying, low self esteem, and making poor choices, just to name a few… Here is an article that describes the benefit of animal related therapy…. Just one more reason we believe that Triumph youth Services/Academy can help your Son.
